Introgression can be defined as
A. Transfer of a few genes from one species into the full diploid chromosome complement of another species
B. Transfer of a haploid set of chromosomes of one species into another by removing one haploid set of chromosome complement of another species
C. Substitution of a few genes of another species
D. Substitution of full chromosomes complement of one species by the full chromosomes complement of another species
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Introgression can be defined as the Transfer of a few genes from one species into the full diploid chromosome complement of another species.It refers to the transfer of genetic material between species following hybridization and backcrossing to the parental species.
It is the gradual movement of genes from one species into the gene pool of another when there is some opportunity for hybridization between them.
